"A Praise Chorus" by Jimmy Eat World off the album "Bleed American"

A Praise Chorus

Third FAWM track! It was actually the first track I started to write for this, I just kinda lost the plot and was off to other songs and ideas before I came back. Kind of feels like there should be a bridge or an outro, but eh, FAWM is not the place for second-guessing and over-analysis. That's an After February problem.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
A paperweight could keep me down<
Give or take this bed I made
To drown in.
I digress, I digress:

I'm tangled up,
Spinning round,
Hanging by a thread.

Fireflies and memories,
I'll let you know so you can leave
The light on
When I'm gone, when I'm gone.

A perfect hill to die on,
No summer rain,
To help drift to sleep.

Chorus:
Hang me out,
So my bleeding heart can dry. (Don't let me down x2)
And maybe, if it's broken,
You can find me a new one.

The city lights
Look a little like constellations. (Don't keep me out x2)
When I'm miles away from 
All I love.

Verse 2:
Twist and turn and shed me skin,
The odds and ends and Never-Been's
Control me.
So it goes, so it goes.

The engine purrs and we depart,
But we never grow apart.

I dream of nights I'll never see,
Rolling hills, fallen leaves
Without you.
I'll wake up, I'll wake up.

But a part of me is so afraid,
I'll fall asleep and
Never see you again.

Chorus:
Hang me out,
So my bleeding heart can dry. (Don't let me down x2)
And maybe, if it's broken,
You can find me a new one.

The city lights
Look a little like constellations. (Don't keep me out x2)
When I'm miles away from 
All I love.

Paperweight

Singer/songwriter from Canada. I have a few other pages (some I lost access to), but this one is for my main projects. I make no presumptions with genres, so I'll go with "Indie Rock Artist", which, yeah, is the most indie thing you can say. Music is Life, Happiness, Creativity, yada yada yada. Can't live without it. Hope you at least mildly enjoy what I love making!
